53 Years Late!

A friend gave me the article clipping from a tabloid. It was about the 77
yrs old man who was finally became an Eagle Scout. It said he was drafted to
the WWII after getting some 23 merit badges in 1942. He later came back home
with the Purple Heart after being wounded. (the clipping said he joined the
Scouts at the age of 12 in 1930, which means he left the scouting for the war
at the age of 24, a hint of fake?)
No one can become the Eagle Scout after the age of 18 except with Mental
Retarded and Cerebral Palsy Scouts who by the effort and perseverance made
the current policy Scouting reconsider their rules about the physically and
mentally challenged without age and time frame. (with the apologizes to
George Costigan and Gregory Wittine)
Anyone knows this exception?
